Easter Deals Holidays

[EL_AltText_Deals1]
The festive seasons have always been a top-tier time to head to the Alps on a ski holiday – and Easter is absolutely no exception to the rule. In fact, with smaller crowds, budget-friendly accommodation and postcard-worthy bluebird days all on offer, Easter might possibly be one of the best times to visit for a more low-key ski break.

Easter is a traditional time for rest, relaxation, regeneration and rebirth. The natural wonders of the Alps look amazing in the Easter sun, and everything feels dew-fresh and delightful. Plus, at this time of the year, you’ll get access to fantastic last-season snow, fun “kids will love this” entertainment and a high-energy apres-ski atmosphere that keeps its momentum even as the season rolls to a close. It really is what we call a no-brainer!

At Erna Low, we’ve been sending ski fanatics to the Alps for almost a century, helping skiers with all kinds of budgets and preferences find the best snow throughout the entire ski season. And when you think about it, the late season offers the best of everything... soft morning powder, sun-kissed slopes, laidback vibes and not to mention plenty of room to play on emptier slopes.

Undecided on where to go and what to get up to on your Easter ski break? We’ve got you! Check out our top recommendations below.

Why Easter is an egg-cellent time to visit the Alps

Easter in the Alps promises a cultured, fun-filled experience for absolutely everyone. Whichever resort you end up visiting, you’ll find a charming mix of old and new that blends epic skiing with an authentic taste of the local Alpine traditions practised during Easter.

In France, Easter egg hunts take on a new mountain twist, with some resorts hiding chocolate surprises across the slopes and village squares for children (and sweet-toothed adults) to hunt down. Several restaurants and catered residences have also been known to host special Easter brunches featuring local cheeses, charcuterie and freshly baked pastries. Depending on what resort you visit, you may catch traditional easter processions through the village or torchlit walks at night. Some ski schools also host fun slalom races and family-friendly competitions. Truly magical!

Switzerland combines its legendary après-ski scene with several fun Easter traditions. Many resorts organise torchlit descents, live music events and vibrant end-of-season ski parties, taking full advantage of the longer daylight hours. Families can enjoy Easter craft workshops, storytelling sessions, and, of course, plenty of chocolate-themed fun.

Austria’s ski resorts are known for embracing their cultural heritage during Easter. In St. Anton and Kitzbühel, visitors can explore Easter markets selling handcrafted goods, painted eggs and traditional Austrian treats like Osterpinze, which is a type of seriously addictive sweet bread. (You’ve been warned...) Many villages also hold ‘Osterfeuer’ – a large Easter bonfire designed to celebrate the season, quite often against the backdrop of an epic live DJ set.

Best high-altitude resorts for Easter skiing

If you’re looking for some deep snow this Easter, you’ll want a resort that guarantees great snow coverage well into spring. Luckily for you, that’s where high-altitude resorts come in. Resorts with higher locations mean longer seasons, reliable conditions and, in most cases, sunnier slopes! Here are some of the top high-altitude ski resorts across Europe to make the most of your Easter on the slopes.

  • Val Thorens, France (2,300m)
    Val Thorens is the perfect winter playground for Easter skiing. As Europe’s highest ski resort, VT is a no-brainer with the highest slopes reaching 3,200m, guaranteeing a ridiculously long ski season. The Three Valleys ski area, which also includes the incredible resorts of Courchevel and Méribel, offers a great selection of varied terrain to explore, snow-sure conditions, sun-soaked terraces, slope parties and an infectious après-ski scene... Basically all the ingredients that make for a truly unforgettable Easter spring ski break.
  • Zermatt, Switzerland (1,620m - 3,883m)
    With slopes peaking at an impressive 3,883m, Zermatt offers fantastic high-altitude skiing with “pinch-me” views to match. Thanks to the Matterhorn glacier, Zermatt pretty much guarantees year-round skiing, which means powdery pistes, spring sunshine and unbeatable views of the Matterhorn are all part of the package. Plus, if you’re enjoying a week-long break with a group of mates or the family, you’ll find a selection of mountain huts to enjoy a delicious Easter meal.
  • Obergurgl, Austria (1,930m - 3,080m)
    Often called the “Diamond of the Alps”, Obergurgl is one of Austria’s most snow-reliable resorts thanks to its high altitude and glacier access. Its uncrowded slopes and excellent ski schools make it perfect for families over Easter. Plus, with Easter-themed activities, cosy alpine lodges and scenic ski routes, it’s an idyllic spring ski destination.

Snow conditions at Easter – What to expect?

[EL_AltText_Deals3]

Skiing at Easter offers a fantastic mix of spring sunshine and snowy slopes, but what kind of conditions can you expect in the Alps at this time of year? While lower-altitude resorts start seeing softer snow, high-altitude destinations and glacier ski areas still deliver fantastic skiing well into April.

  • Higher is better
    By Easter, altitude is everything. Resorts sitting above 2,000m, like Val Thorens, Tignes and Zermatt, tend to hold onto their snow much longer, keeping pistes in great shape from the first lifts to the last. North-facing slopes also help preserve the snow, giving you firmer conditions in the morning before the afternoon sun softens things up for easy cruising.
  • Expect Spring Snow
    Mornings typically bring firmer, well-groomed pistes that are more than ideal for carving. As the day warms up, slopes lower down the mountain can turn a little softer and slushier, but that just means you need to get creative with your riding — which is music to the ears of any freerider looking for a fun challenge.
  • Bluebird Days & Warmer Temps
    One of the biggest perks of skiing at Easter is undoubtedly the sunshine. Expect longer, warmer days, bluebird skies and the chance to ski in a lighter jacket (or even just a hoodie!). Plus, the longer daylight hours mean more après-ski time on sun-soaked terraces.
If good snow and good vibes sound like your kind of ski holiday, Easter in the Alps is the perfect match. Erna Low has you covered with the best high-altitude resorts and snow-sure destinations, which means you can focus on making the most of every turn.

Easter ski deals: How to get the best value for your holiday

Easter comes with chocolate eggs, longer days, softer snow and all-around good tidings (or is that Christmas?). Compared to the peak Christmas, New Year’s and February half-term rush, Easter ski holidays tend to be cheaper, with the option to score better deals on accommodation, ski passes and travel. If you're looking to hit the slopes while leaving more change in your pocket for a few cheeky après beers, here are a few tips to maximise your budget (and your ski time!).

  • Book early for the best deals
    Easter may be a quieter time to visit compared to busier times in the season, but the best-value chalets, apartments and hotels still get snapped up fast. Booking early not only gives you a wider choice of accommodation but often means you get access to early-bird discounts on ski passes, equipment hire and flights.
  • Consider high-altitude resorts
    Late-season skiing is all about the altitude. Resorts like Tignes, Val Thorens and Cervinia stay open into late April, meaning you’ll get the best snow conditions without the peak-season prices. Absolute win!
  • Self-catering means bigger savings
    Opting for a self-catering apartment can potentially save you a small fortune on food and drink. With local supermarkets and bakeries nearby, you can whip up your own meals rather than eating out every night; leaving more in the budget for après-ski fun!
  • Look out for lift pass deals
    Many resorts discount their lift passes in the late season, and some even offer “kids-go-free” deals. At Erna Low, we can help you find the best-value pass for your trip, so you never have to pay more than you need.
